Research
The HES Lab studies sustainability, resilience, and justice in coupled natural-human systems. We work at the intersection of built, natural, and social systems — using computational and social-science methods to understand how communities and infrastructures can be made more resilient and environmentally responsible. Our current research spans smart rural communities, critical infrastructure, hazard modeling, circular economy, and food systems.
